The Flour Millers' Association has dropped the price of flour by 30s a ton. This we expected, because the policy of syndicates now is to cheapen wheat so that the new season's crop can be purchased at a low figure. When this is secured prices may be expected to go up again. New Zealand is honeycombed with combines and it is no use trying to put them down. They are hydra-headed and are the natural outcome of our weird Arbitration Act, which grows them as rapidly as if they were mushrooms.
